PREFATOEY 


The  scientific  literature  relative  to  the  fishes  of  the  western  coast  of 
North  America  is  of  unusually  recent,  as  well  as  rapid,  growth.  Noth- 
ing exact  was  known  till  the  present  century  had  far  advanced,  for  the 
accounts  of  the  earlier  writers,  such  as  Yenegas,  intead  of  enlightening 
the  reader,  convey  absolutely  false  ideas  respecting  the  character  of 
the  ichthyic  fauna.  Exclusive  of  incidental  notices,  the  beginnings  of 
an  ichthyography  of  the  northwest  coast  were  first  published  in  1831 
(but  printed  in  1811)  in  the  "Zoographia  Kosso-Asiatica  "  of  Pallas; 
a  few  species  from  British  Columbia  were  described  by  Eichardson  in 
1836,  while  the  fishes  of  California  remained  absolutely  unknown  till  1 839, 
when  a  glimpse,  but  an  entirely  inadequate  one,  was  furnished  by  Lay 
and  Bennett  in  their  notes  and  account  of  species  collected  during  the 
voyage  of  the  English  vessel  Blossom.  A  long  silence  then  supervened, 
and,  with  the  exceptions  thus  signalized,  and  the  addition  by  Storer 
of  a  single  species  of  Syngnathus  in  1846,  west-coast  ichthyography 
commenced  in  1854  with  the  announcement,  by  Professor  Agassiz,  of 
the  discovery  of  the  remarkable  family  of  Embiotocoids.  This  was 
speedily  followed  by  numerous  communications,  by  Dr.  Gibbons,  Dr. 
Girard,  and  Dr.  Ayres,  on  new  species  of  fishes,  mostly  from  the  Cali- 
fornian  waters,  but  partly  from  the  Oregonian  ones.  As  early  as  1858, 
nearly  200  species  had  been  made  known,  and  the  descriptions  of  most 
were  collected  in  a  general  report  by  Dr.  Girard.  The  main  features 
of  the  ichthyology  of  the  Pacific  slope  were  then  already  known ;  but 
more  recent  laborers  have  not  only  extended  largely  our  knowledge 
of  species,  but  added  a  number  of  entirely  new  forms,  and  thrown  much 
light  on  the  relations  of  the  fish-fauna  of  that  region  to  others. 

The  following  bibliography  is  a  nearly  complete  enumeration,  in 
chronological  order,  of  the  memoirs  and  articles  of  all  kinds  that  have 
been  published  on  the  fishes  of  the  region  in  question.  The  chrono- 
logical order  has  been  determined  by  the  date  of  reading  of  the  articles 


communicated  to  learned  societies.  lu  cases  of  question  of  priority, 
the  right  depends,  of  course,  on  the  period  of  publication ;  but  this 
is  sometimes  with  great  difficulty  ascertainable,  and  motives  of  con- 
venience have  dictated  the  sequence  adopted. 

Perhaps  some  will  be  disposed  to  believe  that  the  compiler  has  sinned 
in  redundancy  rather  than  deficiency  in  this  bibliography.  The  evils 
of  the  former  are,  however,  easily  remedied,  while  those  of  the  latter 
must  leave  the  consulter  in  more  or  less  doubt.  Many  popular  works 
have  been  catalogued  where  original  information  of  even  slight  value 
was  contained,  and  when  such  works  were  among  the  earliest  published 
on  the  regions.in  question.  Besides  those  enumerated,  works  on  Cali- 
fornia, too  numerous  to  mention,  contain  incidental  information  (very 
rarely  of  any  original  value,  however)  respecting  the  fishes  and  fisheries 
of  that  State;  and  a  number  on  the  British  possessions  belong  to  the 
same  category.  Among  those  relative  to  British  Columbia  and  Van- 
couver's Island  worthy  to  be  mentioned,  but  not  to  be  particularized, 
are  the  volumes  of  Wm.  Carew  Hazlitt  (1858),  J.  Desford  Pemberton 
(1860),  Duncan  George  Forbes  Macdonald  (1862),  Capt.  C.  E.  Barrett 
Lennard  (1862),  Alexander  Eattray  (1862),  Com.  E.  C.  Mayne  (1862), 
G.  M.  Sproat  (1868),  Francis  Poole  (1872),  and  Capt.  W.  F.  Butler 
(1873). 

The  titles  of  the  Government  publications  are  taken  from  a  manu- 
script compilation  embracing  notices  of  all  the  reports  published  by 
the  General  and  State  governments  on  scientific  explorations,  and 
intended  to  be  more  particular  than  the  present  work.  They  are 
retained  with  the  bars  (  |  ),  indicating  the  distribution  on  the  title- 
pages  of  the  lines,  etc. 

Several  societies  have,  or  have  had,  the  custom  of  publishing  com- 
munications, sometimes  of  an  elaborate  and  extended  nature,  without 
any  titles.  This  strange  and  senseless  mode  of  procedure  seems  to 
have  originated  in  some  freak  or  affectation  of  modesty  on  the  part  of 
authors,  perhaps,  rather  than  a  deliberate  intention  to  shirk  labor  or 
confuse  matters.  Confusion  and  trouble  to  others  are  nevertheless  the 
result  of  this  vicious  negligence,  and  a  consequence  is  an  ignoring  of 
the  papers  thus  unentitled  or  an  irreconcilable  variation  of  titles  in 
different  bibliographies.  Whether  the  custom  originates  with  authors 
or  not,  the  assumption  of  it  is  discreditable  to  the  editor  or  editors  of 
the  publications  adopting  it.  A  number  of  the  papers  here  recorded 
belong  to  this  category  of  the  unentitled  or  disentitled :  the  titles  fol- 


lowing  preceded  by  an  asterisk  (*)  are  selected  from  the  remarks  pre- 
fatory to  the  paper  in  the  proceedings,  and  those  preceded  by  a 
dagger  ( t )  have  been  composed  by  the  present  writer,  since  nothing 
intelligible  precedes  the  papers  themselves.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the 
senseless  and  causeless  sin  in  question  may  speedily  be  discontinued. 
There  is  no  reason  why  any  one  should  be  compelled  to  read  the  whole 
of  an  article  (as  is  sometimes  necessary)  to  obtain  an  idea  of  what  the 
paper  relates  to;  and  the  "Catalogue  of  Scientific  Papers  (1800-1863) 
compiled  and  published  by  the  Koyal  Society  of  London"  shows  how  a 
bibliography  edited  under  the  best  auspices  may  be  involved  in  grave 
errors  by  the  negligence  adverted  to.

tion of  that  country,  its  soil,  mountains,  harbours,  lakes,  rivers,  and  seas  5 
its  animals,  vegetables,  minerals,  and  famous  fishery  for  pearls.  The  cus-

coast  of  the  South-Sea.  Illustrated  with  copperplates,  and  an  accurate 
map  of  the  country  and  adjacent  seas.  Translated  from  the  original  Span- 
ish of  Miguel  Venegas,  a  Mexican  Jesuit,  published  at  Madrid  175«.— In

[The  only  references  to  fishes  are  as  follows  (v.  i,  pp.  47-48) :— "  But  if  the  soil  of  Cali- 
fornia be  in  general  barren,  the  scarcity  of  provisions  is  supplied  by  the  adjacent  sea;  for 
both  in  the  Pacifick  ocean  and  the  Gulf  of  California,  the  multitude  and  variety  of  fishes 
are  incredible.  Father  Antonio  de  la  Ascencion,  speaking  of  the  bay  of  San  Lucas 
[Lower  California],  says,  '  With  the  nets  which  every  ship  carried,  they  caught  a  great 
quantity  of  fish  of  different  kinds,  and  all  wholesome  and  palatable :  particularly  holy- 
buss,  salmon,  turbots,  skates,  pilchards,  large  oysters,  thornbacks,  mackerel,  barbels, 
bouetos,  soals,  lobsters,  and  pearl  oysters.'  And,  speaking  of  the  bay  of  San  Francisco, 
on  the  western  coast,  he  adds :  '  Here  are  such  multitudes  of  fish,  that  with  a  net,  which 
the  commodore  had  on  board,  more  was  caught  every  day  than  the  ship's  company  could 
make  use  of:  and  of  these  a  great  variety,  as  crabs,  oysters,  breams,  mackerel,  cod,  bar- 
bels, thornbacks,  &c.'  And  in  other  parts  he  makes  mention  of  the  infinite  number  of 
sardines,  which  are  left  on  the  sand  at  the  ebb;  and  so  exquisite  that  those  of  Laredo  in 
Spain,  then  famous  for  this  fish,  do  not  exceed  them.  Nor  are  fish  less  plentiful  along  the 
gulf  [of  California],  where  to  the  above  mentioned  species  Father  Picolo  adds,  tunnies, 
anchovies,  and  others.  Even  in  the  rivulets  of  this  peninsula  are  found  barbels  and  cray- 
fish :  but  the  most  distinguished  fish  of  both  seas  are  the  whales ;  which  induced  the 
ancient  cosmographers  to  call  California,  Punta  de  Balenas,  or  Cape  Whale :  and  these  fish 
being  found  in  multitudes  along  both  coasts,  give  name  to  a  channel  in  the  gulf,  and  a 
bay  in  the  South  sea"  (v.  i,  pp.  47-48).]

Extract  of  a  letter  from  Mexico  addressed  to  the  Eoyal  Academy  of  Sci- 
ences at  Paris,  by  Don  Joseph  Anthony  de  Alzate  y  Ramyrez,  now 
a  correspondent  of  the  said  academy,  containing  some  curious  particu- 
lars relative  to  the  natural  history  of  the  country  adjacent  to  the  City 
of  Mexico,  pp.  77-105. 

[It  is  undoubtedly  this  work  that  is  meant  in  the  statement  that  has  so  largely  gone  the 
rounds  of  the  periodical  press,  to  the  effect  that  the  Californian  viviparous  fishes  'were  ob- 
served during  the  voyage  for  the  observation  of  the  transit  of  Venus  to  Lower  California, 
1769.  A  perusal  of  the  accounts  given,  however,  renders  it  evident  that  the  fishes  in  ques- 
tion were  not  Enabiotocids  but  rather  Cyprinodontids,  probably  of  the  genus  Mollienesia. 
The  account  by  Don  Alzate  (pp.  89-91)  is  as  follows: — 

"  I  send  you  some  viviparous  scaly  fishes,  of  which  I  had  formerly  given  you  an  account. 
What  I  have  observed  in  them  this  year  is — '  If  you  press  the  belly  with  your  fiugers,  you 
force  out  the  fry  before  their  time,  and  upon  inspecting  thorn  through  the  microscope  yon 
may  discern  the  circulation  of  the  blood,  such  as  it  is  to  be  when  the  fish  is  grown  up.'  If 
you  throw  these  little  fishes  into  water,  they  will  swim  as  well  as  if  they  had  beeu  long 
accustomed  to  live  in  that  element.  The  fins  and  tail  of  the  males  are  larger  and  blacker 
than  those  of  the  females,  so  that  the  sex  is  easily  distinguished  at  first  sight.  These  fish 
have  a  singular  manner  of  swimming ;  the  male  and  the  female  swim  together  on  two  par- 
allel lines,  the  female  always  uppermost  and  the  male  undermost;  they  thus  always  keep 
at  a  constant  uniform  distance  from  each  other,  and  preserve  a  perfect  parallelism.  The 
female  never  makes  the  least  motion,  either  sideways  or  towards  the  bottom,  but  directly 
the  male  does  the  same." 

To  this  account  is  added  a  foot-note  (p.  90)  containing  the  following  additional  informa- 
tion:— 

"Don  Alzate  has  sent  those  fishes  preserved  in  spirits;  their  skin  is  covered  with  very 
small  scales ;  they  vary  in  length  from  an  inch  to  eighteen  lines,  and  they  are  seldom  above 
five,  six,  or  seven  lines  in  the  broadest  part.  They  have  a  fin  on  each  side  near  the  gills, 
two  small  ones  under  the  belly,  a  single  one  behind  the  anus,  which  lies  between  the  fin 
and  the  single  one ;  the  tail  is  not  forked ;  lastly,  this  fish  has  a  long  fin  on  the  back,  * 
little  above  the  fin,  which  is  under  the  belly. 

"  We  know  of  some  viviparous  fishes  in  our  seas,  such  as  loach,  &c.  most  of  these  have 
a  smooth  skin  without  any  scales.  The  needle  of  Aristotle  is  viviparous,  and  yet  covered 
with  broad  and  hard  scales,  I  have  caught  some  that  had  young  ones  still  in  their  womb. 
Ag  to  these  viviparous  fishes,  it  is  a  particular  and  new  sort,  and  we  are  obliged  to  Don 
Alzate  for  making  us  acquainted  with  it.  It  breeds  in  a  lake  of  fresh  water  near  the  City 
of  Mexico."  . 

This  is,  so  far  as  known,  the  earliest  notice  of  the  viviparity  of  Cynrinodontids.  The 
mode  of  consorting  together  (exaggerated  in  the  account)  is  common  to  a  number  of  rep- 
resentatives of  the  family,  and  is  alluded  to  by  Prof.  Agassiz  in  a  name  (Zygonectes,  i.  e. 
swimming  in  pairs)  conferred  on  one  of  the  genera  of  the  family.]

This  volume  is  interesting  as  being  the  first  publication  in  which  any  attempt  has  boen 
made  to  scientifically  indicate  the  fishes  of  the  coast.  The  "naturalist "  of  the  expedition 
was,  however,  incompetent  for  the  task,  and  the  notes  taken  evince  that  he  was  not 
sufficiently  versed  in  the  rudiments  of  ichthyology  to  know  what  to  observe.  Neverthe- 
less, the  notes  have  an  interest,- if  not  of  importance,  enough  to  transcribe  what  relates 
to  the  regions  in  question : — 

"Off  Saint  Lawrence  Island  was  caught,  in  the  dredge  a  fish  apparently  allied  to  the 
genus  Liparis,  Art.  It  had  the  '  ventral  fins  placed  before  the  pectorals,  but  united  and 
continuous  with  them;  aflat,  raised,  and  rough  tubercle,  of  nearly  the  diameter  of  an 
English  sixpence,  was  seated  forward  between  the  pectorals,  its  anterior  part  reaching  as 
far  as  the  ventrals ;  this  may  be  of  use  in  copulation  :  its  cceca  were  pretty  numerous.' — C. 
The  roughness  of  this  tubercle  renders  it  difficult  to  refer  the  fish  to  any  known  species ; 
but  it  ia  probably  nearly  related  to  the  Cyclopterus  gelatinosus.  Pall.,  a  Lipari*  which  is 
known  to  inhabit  the  seas  in  which  this  was  obtained.  The  existence  of  cceca  removes  it 
from  Lepadogaster,  Gonan. 

"Kotzebuo  Sound  afforded  a  specimen  of  a  new  species  of  Ophidium,  L.,  the  Oph.  stigma,. 

"  On  the  coast  of  California,  a  little  to  the  northwards  of  the  harbour  of  San  Fraucisco, 
an  Orthagoriscus  was  met  with,  apparently  the  Orth.  mold.,  Bl.  They  swam  about  the 
ship  with  the  dorsal  fin  frequently  elevated  above  the  surface."  (p.  50.) 

"On  the  coast  of  California,  at  Monterey,  Mr.  Collie's  notes  mention  the  occurrence  of 
[1]  a  species  of  Sparus,  of  two  Scombri,  and  of  a  Clupea.  [2]  The  first  of  the  Scombridce  is 
apparently  a  Scomber,  Cuv.;  it  was  'smaller  than  the  mackerel;  it  was  marked  on  the 
back  with  cross  waved  narrow  bands  of  black  and  greenish  blue;  its  first  dorsal  fin  hnd 
nine  spines,  and  there  were  four  small  pinnules  behind  the  second  dorsal  and  the  anal :  it 
had  a  simple  air-bladder  of  moderate  size,  and  an  immense  number  of  cceca,  with  a  stomach 
extending  the  whole  length  of  the  abdomen,  narrow,  tapering  to  the  posterior  part,  and 
covered  throughout  nearly  its  whole  length  with  the  milt.  ?  Its  internal  membrane  forms 
longitudinal  folds;  the  intestines  have  three  convolutions.' — C.  This  fish  occurred  in 
shoals.  [3J  The  second  species  was  met  with  but  once.  It  is  a  Caranx,  Cuv.,  of  which 
'  the  teeth  in  the  upper  maxillary  are  scarcely  to  be  felt :  the  pectorals  reach  nearly  to  op- 
posite the  anus:  a  double  narrow  stripe  of  deeper  blue  than  the  general  surface  runs  back- 
wards on  each  side  of  the  first  dorsal  fin  to  opposite  its  termination,  the  two  parts  being 
separated  by  a  broad  line  of  dirty  white,  which  has  a  narrow,  dark-coloured  line  along  its 
middle:  there  are  no  distinct  divisions  in  the  anal  and  second  dorsal  fins:  the  air-bladder 
is  simple,  and  small,  and  extends  from  ihefaucen  to  the  anus ;  the  stomach  is  much  shorter 
than  in  the  preceding  species;  the  cceca,  although  numerous,  are  less  so  than  in  it,  and  the 
intestine  is  folded  in  the  same  manner.' — C.  From  the  nature  of  the  colouring  of  this  fish, 
as  described  by  Mr.  Collie,  there  can  be  little  doubt  of  its  constituting  a  distinct  species.

[4]  Along  with  the  first  species  of  Scomber,  there  occurred  in  shoals  a  small  species  of 
Clupea,  L., '  without  teeth ;  with  the  dorsal  fin  a  little  before  the  ventral ;  and  with  the  back 
dark  greenish  blue,  and  having  one  line  and  part  of  another  of  rounded  black  spots  on 
each  side  nearly  on  a  level  with  the  eye:  the  gill  membranes  contain  six  rays,  and  overlap 
each  other  at  their  lower  part ;  the  stomach  resembles  that  of  the  first  Scomber ;  it  has  also 
numerous  caeca;  the  air-bladder  is  small  and  tapering.'— O.  The  other  fishes  observed  at 
Monterey  were  [5]  a  new  species  of  Cliimcera,  Cuv.,  diifering  essentially  from  the  Chimtera 
of  the  Atlantic,  and  approaching  somewhat  in  the  position  of  its  second  dorsal  fin  to  the 
Callorhynchus,  Cuv. ;  [6]  a  species  of  Torpedo,  Dum.;  and  [7]  a  Raia  "  (pp.  54-55).]

[The  name  of  the  compiler  is  not  published  on  the  title-page.  In  the  usual  introduction, 
Mr.  Gray  states:— "The  characters  of  the  genera  of  Sharks  and  Rays,  with  their  sy- 
nonyms, have  principally  been  derived  from  the  work  of  Professors  Miiller  and  Henle. 
The  specimens  which  were  not  named  by  those  authors  when  engaged  in  their  work,  or 
by  Dr.  Andrew  Smith,  have  been  determined  by  Mr.  Edward  Gerrard."  The  responsi- 
bility of  the  compilation,  how.-.ver,  apparently  devolves  on  JOHN  EDWARD  GRAY. 
The  diagnoses  of  the  groups,  and,  for  tho  most  part,  tho  sjuonymy  of  the  species,  are,  in 
fact,  translated  or  transcribed  from  Miiller  and  lleulo's  great  work  on  the  Plagiostomes,
